iOS 9 is in demand for its outstanding features,
but as we know that each Apple product is full of hidden surprises. Well, the
same goes with iOS 9 as it also has some very amazing hidden features that
Apple users need to know to take optimum benefit. Exploring these features can
prove like adding a feather to the cap. Take a look at few of them:

Hide Photos: iPhone has a great camera quality and capturing moments with it
can’t be missed, but it isn’t necessary that one wishes to share every
photograph. iOS values the privacy of users and with ‘Hide Photos’ feature it
resolves the issue. All you need to do is just open the camera roll, select the
photos to be hidden, open share sheet by tapping on the button at bottom left
corner, and finally select hide.

Closing Photos using Shortcut:
iOS 9 saves its users from scrolling finger from
bottom of screen to top of it in order to return. A simple swipe down option on
the opened photo can assist to reach the camera roll.

Hidden Battery Widget: iOS 9 helps the users to add the battery widget at the bottom of
‘Today’ view available in Notification Center. For this, users have to tap
‘edit’ which will reveal the options to be added in ‘Today’ list.

Change Keyboard Caps: iOS 9 has virtual keyboard keys that display upper and lower case
fonts, automatically. However, there is an option to disable it by going to
Settings > General > Accessibility > Keyboard and turning off ‘Show
Lowercase Keys’ option.

Quick Currency Conversions

answers to easily make conversions and perform calculations as the user types.
It is more like a facility that Chrome browser users have.

technological scenarios. Hence, being an iOS App Developer is the right choice and
a formal training in the same can lend
you a helping hand.
